Clam Chowder Shell Pasta - Food Wishes

[@a2ndopynyn]

Looks delicious, as usual. Regarding your potato musings at the end: "Why not both?" Increase the total potato amount by about 25%, throw half of them in like you did this time and the other half when you add the cream. That way, some of them will fall apart and flavor/thicken the sauce, and the rest will stay nice and firm. Sounds like win-win to me.

[@tatianar.421]

Good idea

[@nancyx591]

Thought the exact same thing!

Probably my earliest comfort food when I first started cooking for myself as a kid... reducing a can of clam chowder into a sauce and let coat over noodles. Love this grown up version 😊

That’s disgusting

Nothing wrong with this.

[@stellaz2595]

I have been making something similar to this dish for years, but I didn't include bacon. Another tasty addition is chopped green onion tops just before serving.

[@wendyellis6402]

I’m going to try this with Manhattan style chowder, because I also love linguine with red clam sauce. Thanks for making me hungry, Chef John 😉

[@allyeatworld]

the earliest i've ever been to a foodwishes video!! thank you chef john for your updates, always - i've been following you for over a decade, you are literally the person who taught me how to cook when i couldn't even fry an egg before! :D

[@scottms956]

This is a great blend of clam sauce and clam chowder flavors. Simple but awesome! Chef john, thank you for making your written recipies true to the dish. I have never been disappointed with your wonderful recipies. You are my latest cooking guru. Thanks!

[@paulasimson4939]

Reminds me of the tuna noodle casserole I used to make in the '70's. Looks delish!

[@ms22401gal]

I’ve made this with cream. I have also used your crème fraîche recipe and it is quite delicious. Just a couple rounded tablespoons is good. I used orecchiette (elephant ears) which is also a great pasta for holding sauce.

[@KenzieTrinityDeasy]

I’m definitely going to make this tonight for dinner. Thanks John for the idea/recipe

[@evilganome]

We always used to steam our clams in beer, and used the steaming liquid in our chowder. Try adding some beer ( we usually used either lager or pilsner, though one day I only had dark ale and that worked fine too ) So, you might try adding a little beer to taste with the canned clams.

[@SundaysChild1966]

Drunken clams!

[@soko63]

My favorite KZbin chef! A very pleasant experience each time I watch his posts. You rock brother

[@billwunder7805]

I made this recipe last night for the first time. Incredibly delicious! Doubled the recipe to eight people. The four of us at it all. No left overs. Recommended.

[@Diggerless]

Ooooh I love the shape, size, & capacity of that bowl almost as much as the served up ingredients :)

[@jake9705]

Chef John... please show us CLASSIC Boston clam chowder! Can't believe that recipe is missing from your library 😭

[@a2ndopynyn]

Yeah, I went looking for it too, a couple months ago when it was super cold outside. C'mon, CJ, hook us up like you always do.

[@titalinda8515]

Chef John, this recipe looks wonderful!!! Everyone loves New England Clam Chowder, so, with pasta, must be delicious. Best wishes from 🇨🇱 Chile.

[@Ay-B]

Looks delicious! This would be a hit at a hipster new-to-the-neighborhood eatery.

[@biffjoesen2529]

That bacon saved crumble is a great finishing touch

[@laurabaumgartner3085]

If you want you can always reserve half of the potatoes to add when you add the cream. That way you would still get some potatoes to stay intact and some to totally cook into the sauce, thereby having 2 different results of having some still tender but intact and some that dissolved and added their starchy goodness in thickening your dish.

[@billwunder7805]

Made this for the second time last night. Outstanding! I may never be able to eat this clam chowder any other way.

[@moniquehorton1111]

Thank you for another recipe that can be used for Lent!

[@ACCER]

I doubt you will actually ever see this comment, but THANK you. Thanks to your foamy hint, I can finally cook bacon and know when it's done instead of overdone! I've sent so many people to you in the last few years and restaurants were shut down and an entire generation of young people finally found themselves having to learn to cook. You have taught so many people so much about cooking. Your videos are like the ultimate online cooking school. My great nephew LOVES your videos.....his mom loves that he has taken over cooking now and then to try out what you taught him. He's 14.

[@paulkang6842]

You're right he probably didn't see your comment, but I did. The foamy hint was really helpful for me, too.

[@rhaehodges]

The thumbnail put me off for a sec yet my curiosity overcame. Good though. A soup sauce for your favourite noodle. Id choose linguine for this.. Mainly cause its cream sauce not a cheese one. Also maybe cut potatoes a tad larger and the other steps may remain. Love your work chef John xo

[@jazzy_taste]

This pasta looks amazing. I'm very curious to try it.

[@mathmatucla]

Made this and it was excellent! We lucked out and clams were on sale this week. I’d recommend leaning more towards “chopped” than “minced” canned clams as at least our brand had quite a bit of minced inside their chopped cans as well.

[@torontocitizen6802]

Thank you so much for this channel!

[@sharonavictoria7155]

Looks. & sounds great ! i think I'll add a pinch of grated fresh nutmeg after adding the cream .

[@davebacon6194]

looks good! chef john just keeps getting better

[@rodmckenzie9089]

I too love linguine with clam sauce. And I think clam chowder is simply a gift from the Gods. So I'm pretty sure I'm going to love this 😋😋😋

[@Timmycoo]

Clams and potatoes go hand in hand. So I totally agree you adding them to a pasta :) Only thing I might add is some peas, since I love them in my clam chowders. But that looks so rich and creamy!

[@Sun-Soul]

What a beautiful, cozy dish of food! 😊

[@txnavy8714]

This is in my “must try” column.

I will be making this dish on sunday, 2 weeks ago i made the chicken paprika, just the best , also i have a a recepie folder and it's mostly your recepies, love the garlic soup , and the peposo , cheers from Alberta ,

To continue this trend, I make a wonderful summer pasta salad with gaspacho inspired sauce!

Now that's a good idea, cold pasta salad with gazpacho sauce, yes!

LOL, On my cheap nights... I cook clam chowder soup, 2 large cans and dump in pasta with a little pasta water and if I have lemon, zest and juice! I've also done this with cream of mushroom and pasta. When you are on a low budget, ya gotta think outside of that box.)

excellent again Chef John

[@samhaisty]

"Soupasta" is already popular in my house! I make too much butternut squash soup on purpose so that I can make it into pasta sauce the next day. I'll definitely give this a try.

[@__hjg__2123]

love this!!! a little salt flake (i.e. Maldon) over top with bacon/cheese was great!

[@Getpojke]

This is one of those dishes you can make pretty much anywhere & pretend its fancy. A tin or two of clams in your backpack & you can have a clam pasta dish miles from the sea up a mountain as a treat.. Bacon is always good, but most pork products go well with shellfish, so black-pudding, chorizo or little trekking salami in a push. Excellent way to spend the evening snowed in in your tent or cabin.🦪

Dang Chef John! You went straight up insaneo style with this one 👌🏼👌🏼

You could also substitute cream with cashew milk (or cream) and have an almost real clam chowder sauce :)
